or BIRDS. 
ADJUTANT. 
The Ad jutant is of the stork kind, lately 
founa m Botany Bay. The beak of this 
creature is an anomaly among the rest : it is 
composed of two long sticks, apparently ns 
I . wo °d I the head is without feathers 
t'air or down, and also looks as if made of 
wood. Under the chin is a kind of purse, 
>at seems adapted to receive the water they 
“re obliged to swallow with the fish they 
ecu on. The neck is not covered with fea- 
rers but naked like that of the ostrich, and 
0 a flesh colour. The wings and back are 
“lack ; the under part of the body white; 
we legs are long, without feathers, and of a 
greyish hue; so are the thighs, which seem 
slender as the legs.
